The number of Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) has decreased after Manila and China sought de-escalation in the region, Philippine Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad said.
“We are monitoring continuously the number of ships in the WPS. Based on the numbers for the past one month, we have seen a decrease. Last week, we have 94. The previous week, 95. This week, 104. So that’s only a very slight increase compared to the previous month,” he said in a press conference.
“If ever this is related to the BCM talks, it is still remains to be seen,” he added. —KG, GMA Integrated News
